Idea Unsound is a left-field 2step producer & DJ that mixes broken beats, futuristic vocal chops with a melodic, dubstep palette. His musical style is strongly influenced by his classical training, his love for science and technology, and his roots in dance music. His sound has been described by others as ‘jazz-inspired electronic music with a futuristic twist’.
He has played alongside Suzanne Ciani, Sweaterbeats, XXYYXX, and Pat Lok among others. Pre-COVID,  he performed regularly around the San Francisco Bay Area and has even toured internationally. He has multiple releases available on various labels and can be streamed via every digital platform. 
	His first foray into bass, the EP ‘Folly’, which was released on bass-heavyweight label Mallabel Music, exploded onto the scene in 2014 and established him as a master of experimental bass. His hit single “Waiting” gained a lot of traction on Soundcloud and helped create attention for his next series of catchy electronic hits. Shortly thereafter, he released “Explore Shanghai”, a concept album that expressed the hustle and bustle of Shanghai’s non-stop transportation services. 
Part of Idea Unsound’s success stems from his uncanny technical prowess and knowledge of modern production tools. He approaches musical concepts from the mindset of an artist and an engineer, being able to both conceptualize great sounds and then shape them sonically into the mix.
